Boat School to Hold Community Sail-In Event to Celebrate 30th Anniversary
Port Hadlock, WA. July 15th, 2011
Join us at the Boat School Saturday, August 6th, as we celebrate our 30th anniversary! Our waterfront campus in Port Hadlock on Washington's beautiful Olympic Peninsula will be open all day from 9am to 6pm. To add to the festivities, the Puget Sound Chapter of the Traditional Small Craft Association is co-sponsoring this event with us Come on down and enjoy a day of boats, food and fun.
This very informal gathering is for people of all ages - everyone is invited. No need to RSVP, just show up and enjoy the day down by the water.
We'll have all five of our boat shops open for public tours, as well as our welding shop and blacksmith shop. Of course, there will be plenty of Boat School boats to see and enjoy as well as a wide variety of visiting boats, many built by the Boat School and our alumni over the past 30 years.
This year we're hosting a steak and hotdog grill for a nominal cost. The Ajax Cafe will host a beer garden at their restaurant across the street from the School, and Mystery Bay Seafood will be on site to sell seafood.
Boats built by our accredited Community Boatshop program over the past three years by local high school students and community volunteers will be in the water to take participants out for short sail and row cruises. Tours will be available on larger vessels at anchor such as the M/V Lotus, a 93 foot cruising houseboat built in 1909 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and M/V Shamrock, a 1965 Trumpy, among others.
The Boat School’s mission is to teach and preserve the skills and crafts associated with fine wooden boatbuilding and other maritime arts, with emphasis on the development of the individual as a crafts person. The School enrolls as many as 65 local, national and international students each year in a variety of marine construction vocational training programs, and builds boats on commission.
